GE is exactly what is wrong with Corporate America and is at the heart of the demise of the economy. They have unleashed a bunch of Kool-aid drinking, outsourcing, arrogant and vicious executives and executive wanna'be's on the world which ruined the Corporate landscape. There is not a single current or ex-GE employee that I have met that is competent or likable. Screw yourself Immelt, we do not root for you or your ilk.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94e813eab8ea073d000035macstibsTue, 11 Oct 2011 21:06:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94e813eab8ea073d000035
Let's be fair though - Obama hasn't appointed a single qualified person in his entire tenure - so why spoil a perfect record?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e949297ecad04974b00001dblack swanTue, 11 Oct 2011 15:01:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e949297ecad04974b00001d
How can Americans not root for a guy that so loves his country? GE has 9,600 IT workers in 40 different countries, and has outsourced 4,000 to India, alone. On top of that, GE paid no US corporate taxes but had the US taxpayers indemnify GECC's junk securities for $126 billion. Now this skunk is openly sharing the President's bedroom with him.
Now Jeff,where can we Americans shove that root?

Don't forget why these corporations pay for so many commercials...they are simply "bribing" these news organizations NOT to do a negative story about them. They threaten to pull their revenue stream. Companies like ADM, GE, Lockheed Martin advertising heavily on the Sunday shows...just what "consumers" are they expecting to reach?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94878c69bedd3c17000010RightLiesTue, 11 Oct 2011 14:14:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94878c69bedd3c17000010
These are not American companies anymore. Which is OK, but Americans need to realize who team GE is on. And it's not ours. It's not that their our mortal enemies but more like an ally. But an ally is still not family. They must be bargained wiith the way we do with Canada or the UK. Their is a quid pro quo in an ally relationship that GE and global companies must deliver on.

Well Jeff, let’s take an unvarnished look at the differences between those companies in Japan and Germany as regards the ratio of pay for a ceo to that of the average worker compared to ceo’s like yourself in American corporations, shall we?
In Japan the ratio of pay for a ceo compared to that of the average worker is…… 11 to 1,
In Germany that ratio expands to a dizzying…… 12 to 1,
and in the the old US of A Jeff ?….. it’s 475 to 1.
In addition Jeff, your company has one of the worst records of any American corporation for exporting American jobs overseas. Since you assumed control of GE, you have cut one-fifth of your company’s U.S. work force while increasing the number of your companies overseas employees dramatically. Your company, the largest corporation in America, paid no taxes in 2010 despite making $145.2 billion in profits and receiving nearly over $5 billion in federal subsidies in that same period.
The adage “with friends like you, who needs enemies” comes to mind.
You and your ilk, as well as those who appointed you to the position you now hold in government, belong in jail for destroying the economic well being of millions here and abroad, and for forcing the American population into the streets to address the problem because of the harm you have caused to the machinery of democracy in America.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e948268ecad04522b00002bBarack "57 States" ObamaTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:52:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e948268ecad04522b00002b
Let me be clear: I am against greedy billionaires who fly in corporate jets as they offshore jobs to China and pay no taxes.
What's that? You say I just described General Electric's CEO who I put in charge of my President's Jobs Council?
You're racist!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94821cecad04532f00001ebwTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:51:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94821cecad04532f00001e
Neutron Jack has been replaced by National Socialist "Czar" Jeff Immelt !
At least Jack didn't live off taxpayer money !http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94818a69bedd8f02000020jamesusnvetTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:48:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e94818a69bedd8f02000020
Yes because when you have your benefits cut and half of your coworkers are fired so the jobs can be shipped elsewhere and the only people getting raises are the executives regardless of performance (or the political leaders they bribe) that REALLY puts you in the mood to support the corporations. GOSH I wonder why EVERYBODY doesn't love them.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9480d469bedd3107000006BaconcatTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:45:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9480d469bedd3107000006
I want you to win, GE. You're a big, beautiful American company. I want you to succeed! I want you to be proud of what you make, and make and sell a lot of it.
But I don't want you to poison the Hudson river. Yes, I still remember that. I don't want you to 'win' by killing American jobs and towns. When you do that you win in the dhort term but lose in the long term. We want to make GE probduct and have the money to buy GE products.
I want you to win, but I want you to pay your taxes. I, the consumer of your products pays taxes when I work to make money to buy your products. I pay taxes when I buy your products. I do this because I know it's closest to the lowest tax rates in the 1st world and it funds amongst other things more miles or road and rail lines than in any other country in the world. The same roads and rail likes you use to bring in the raw materials and ship out the finished projects. You paid nothing in taxes last year. NOTHING.
I want you to win, GE. I want you to succeed. I want you to do all these things without blaming me for your failures. Come on, you can do it. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Stop complaining and start doing. Be a part of the solution, GE.You can do it. We've been doing our part, now you do yours. Join the team and we'll do this together.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e948056eab8eada7d00002eJackBeanTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:43:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e948056eab8eada7d00002e
How does the left feel about GE / Immelt?
Supports the Adminstration but doesn't pay taxes and sends every job it can overseas.
I love the big push I am seeing for GE Capital in terms of TV commercials every ten minutes.
Ask anyone that has ever dealt with them. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone more predatory.
Come to think of it, aren't most distressed ("vulture") investors bid Democratic supporters? hmmmhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e947f73eab8ea4e01000019breezyTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:40:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e947f73eab8ea4e01000019
Pay some damn taxes, GE, and will WILL cheer for you. Stop moving jobs offshore and will cheer for you. Stop offshoring profits and we will cheer for you. Get it?????????????http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e947db16bb3f77d12000034smokeTue, 11 Oct 2011 13:32:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e947db16bb3f77d12000034
Jeff immelts GE is shutting down and x ray plant in minnesota and shipping it to china and 10,000 americans will lose their jobs as a result, the balls that elites like immelt have is mind boggling, immelt and the rest of the elites made the greatest investment of their lives when they put obama in the white house , he paid off in the trillions, the majority of the sheeple have no clue how the elites are deliberately destroying the middle class.
Obama is a total talking parrot puppet of the elites, reports are that valerie jarrett is his latest string puller for the bilderbergers, of whom immelt is one and also a member of the CFR, the elites are going to destroy the middle class and then bring in their new world order and it is coming to a town near all of us very soon.
